TELEPROMPTER OUTPUT
Even apart from all of the foregoing (for example, if you disabled both the
Comments and Headings support), Live Story Creator would still be very useful as
a native teleprompter. Coupled with file watcher functionality to easily update
your script right up to ‘air - time’, this fea ture saves a setup time, expense, and
provides exceptional output flexibility.
C ONTROL
We discussed Live Story’s onscreen teleprompter controls earlier in this section,
but these primarily serve for use during setup.
For live use, most prefer a dedicated physical controller device, whether for use
by the talent or another teleprompter operator in the studio. Live Story natively
supports the ShuttleXpress USB controller by Contour Design Inc. (Figure 308).

You will find this device provides common teleprompter controls in an easy to use and affordable manner.
O UTPUT
In order to support a wide array of external teleprompter hardware, Live Story assigns the scrolling text
output to the highest numbered Switcher output by default. You can then assign this signal to a video Mix
output supplying a physical video output connector to feed an external device.
Of course, in an NDI ® environment, you have other powerful options. TriCaster automatically supplies the
teleprompter output to your network as an NDI stream, offering many display options. For example, the
Studio Monitor application included with the free NDI Tools bundle can be used to display your teleprompter
output on Windows
® and OS X ® platforms. Another option, (in a new session) Live Story assigns the highest
numbered external Switcher source to the Teleprompter's NDI output, making the Teleprompter output
available to Multiviews and on SDI outputs.
